Configure and Use Account Note Notifications

RevOps teams and Sales leaders may want to collaborate on account management, such as coordinating accounts moves between territories. In Fullcast you can accomplish this by using the Notes functionality. This allows you to create notes and assign them to other users. Notes can trigger notifications, alerting a user to review the note.

This article provides instructions for configuring and using account notes and notifications.

Overview

For a note-driven collaboration process to work, the following configuration for notes and notifications must be in place:

  1. Relevant Roles must have appropriate read/write permissions for collaborating with notes

  2. Notifications must be enabled in your Fullcast tenant

  3. Individual users must set up their notification preferences

Once configured, users can leverage the following notes functionality:

  1. Create notes

  2. Assign users to notes

  3. Comment on note threads

  4. Edit assigned users

  5. Resolve notes

  6. Create additional note threads
